Without checking what the user has sent
//assume you have already connected to the database
//if not see the online manual for mysql_connect()
$query("UPDATE tablename SET column1='{$_REQUEST['column1']}',
column2='{$_REQUEST['column2']}', column3='{$_REQUEST['column3']}' WHERE
keycolumn='{$_REQUEST['keycolumn']}'";
mysql_query($query);
In your form you have a hidden field keycolumn which has the rows primary key
value and then you name the options that the user can update for column1,
column2, ...
